All acute-care hospitals in Maine are currently under contract to be connected to the state's query-based health information exchange.
Currently, 34 of the 38 hospitals are connected to the HIE, with the other four expected to connect by the end of 2013.
"This is a huge milestone for us and a testament to the collaborative nature of the hospital community in Maine," said Devore Culver, the CEO of HealthInfoNet, the nonprofit that runs the state's HIE, in the release.
